Hi there,
I am trying yo create a function which input x as a scalar and stores in a persistent variable called buffer. and it calculates the average of input every time I input a new x. The function uses a “buffer” to hold previous inputs, and the buffer can hold a maximum of 25 inputs. I want to know how I can add input to the buffer which is a persistent variable and see the inputs stored in the buffer? Thanks

The description sounds clean and clear enough to allow for a straight forward implementation. What should happen if the function is called the 26th time? Should the buffer wrap around in a first-in-first-out style?
What have you tried so far? Usually it is more efficient to posr, what you have written and ask specific questions. But it is saturday and I try it:
function YourAccumulator(x)
persistent buffer bufferIndex
if isempty(buffer) % Called the first time
bufferIndex = 0;
end
bufferIndex = bufferIndex + 1
buffer(bufferIndex) = x;
if bufferIndex == 25
bufferIndex = 1;
end
M = mean(buffer);
disp(M);
The mod() operator would help to remove the if part.
